1. open a solid paper. place a pattern paper on top and move it up so there is
about 3 inches of the solid paper showing at the bottom of the page.
2. add a border/paper strip over the seam of the papers.
3. place 1 photo above the border/paper strip and frame it somehow.
*place it above or below the photo, tilt it, whatever you feel*
4. add a large title or word art below the border/paper strip on the solid paper.
5. cluster, cluster, cluster under the photo and the border/paper strip until you have had enough.
6. add some brackets anywhere you feel.
7. journal about 3 sentences below your word art/title on the solid paper.

- finish up your shadowing and date it if you would like. Upload to the speed scrap
gallery and be sure you post it in the speed scrap thread within an hour. I will
send out your coupons tomorrow :)

I'm here ,but the chat room won't let me in. I'm getting all kinds of errors. What's going on? Is it me? or the store? I just saw some instructions on the first page of this thread, so I guess I will follow those. Oh know...I thought it was 9:30 central....It's 9:20 pm so I am late. Can I still make a layout?

02-10-2011, 03:41 AM

Oops. I missed this. I decided to call and talk to my Mom instead. Sorry ladies! Hope it was fun. Maybe I'll try the instructions later. Can't wait to see the LOs!

marshmella

I seen you come in and out a few times. Wonder what was going on??? You can still make your layout. Just upload it to the gallery and here in this thread within an hour. I'm sorry you were having problems with the chat.

Thanks that was really fun! It's been awhile!

Beautiful instructions! I just love the LOs! Now I will definitely come back and use these instructions! (Do I have another 40 minutes to get a LO done? Or am I so delirious that I am misunderstanding completely?)

P.S. Does anyone know how to link my photo to the gallery. I'm just copy and pasting in to the thread then adding a link. Is this the only way? Thanks!

All linked up for you! I wil explain how this evening when I have more time! lol -Missi

Here's mine.. I finished my page last night, but I was too tired to post it. I rarely finish a speed scrap on time, because that requires speed! lolol now that I live with 24 hr 7day a week chronic pain , from spinal and neck injuries sustained in a terrible wreck, speed is a thing of the past. I have to have frequent brakes from the pc and I can't still for long periods. Sometimes, I have to stop what I am doing immediately and go straight to a hot shower or my bed w/a heating pad , if the pain is getting out of hand. This might postpone finishing my page until the next day. I hope this doesn't matter and that I can still participate even though I am v...e...r....y s...l....o...w. lol Sorry it's so blurry. I don't know why. I got the free version of pixresizer and it shrink the layout to 600x600 , but it doesn't try to get the best quality first before resizing. I took your direction to put a picture "above the border" very literally oops. I clustered with hearts and I traditionally frame the picture and then I framed it again with the heart wreath. The paper that is behind the rose punched border is really a pink paper,but it looks white here. I looked at some of the layouts in the gallery and I want to know, if we can use past designers products here still? I got products from here ,when they used to be designers here, but I see they aren't here anymore and I still want to be able to use them....like Daybreak Designs and Misty Obrien and Jacobean (didn't she design here in the past?). I think I got those names right.

These look fabulous! I went to bed right after the speed scrap last night. DD didn't nap yesterday so she was in bed early so I knew that would mean she would be up early too. I like everyones take on this.

CM Silly... I'm sorry to hear about your injury. I totally understand that it took you longer and I will still give you a coupon for participating :) Sorry about the chat last night too. I'm not sure why you couldn't see anyone. I kept seeing you pop in and out too. I don't think your page looks blurry either. It's really hard to get a crystal clear layout when you downsize for the web. I think it looks beautiful. You can use anyone's kits for the speed scraps, past designers or designers that do not sell here. The challenges are different though. For those you can also use any products, but you get an extra point for using gs products. Thanks so much for participating and hope to see you at more speed scraps.
